I had a right side colectomy 5 years ago (cancer...Lymphoma Non Hodgkins), and have had diarrhea since. I am now cancer free, and am greatful for that. My symptoms are closer to CD then anything I can find on the internet. My Dr's give me Questran or Lomotil and between the two (taken on different days of course) help a lot, but my body can't handle taking these every day! After reading here and various other CD sites and taking the various things , I have managed to keep it under control a lot of the time . This truly gets "old", I know I should not be whinning, but I would give anything to be "normal" again. I'm thinking of ordering a book or books by Brenda Watson (about
the digestive system). Has anyone read or know anything or had any luck with this type of treatment?
I should explain further, surgery to remove tumor, that other body parts were removed also , and have caused this condition. My food now wants and does pass thru me at full speed . magilant tissue was in my small intestine/large where they join. I think when they removed the canal between the large and small is causing this. There is nothing there to slow down the food process in the small intestine.
A lot of your symptoms are soo like mine, and I get relief from those symptoms using some of the suggestions posted here.
I would like to say I appreciate all the imput ...knowledge that is here. Would love any info anyone has toward this, or I guess my question is..... Where are these people's forum that have been surgically altered to cause this? I'm sure there must be
